 Our board has seats that represent different skills, interests, and client groups -- this helps us keep all of these elements in mind in our deliberations. A list of the seats and "job descriptions" can be found [[Groups to be represented on the board|here]]. We are moving toward a board in which all directors occupy one (or maybe more!) of these seats, so please consider what your skills and interests work best for.
 Our Board of Directors is self-selecting, adding new members at the board meeting following the [[town hall meeting]] or as needed (as in the case of filling empty seats). The board meets monthly. This nomination form is a substantial piece of your introduction to that body, giving people more background than what you may say when you attend the board meeting.

-Hi! Before declaring your intention to run for Free Geek board, you may wish to look at our [[New Director Agreement]] and possibly even talk to one of the current [[board]] members about the responsibilities and limitations of our board, which is structurally somewhat unique.
+Hi! Before declaring your intention to run for Free Geek board, please look at our [[New Director Agreement]] and attend at least one board meeting so you can get a sense of what you are getting into. You can direct any questions to the [[board recruitment committee]] by email; we would be happy to meet with you about how the organization and the board works and how you can best contribute to our great work!
-Our Board of Directors is elected by the [[Community Council]], a governing body consisting of Free Geek staff and volunteers who are responsible for developing and overseeing Free Geek's goals and vision. This nomination form is your introduction to that body. We also set aside much of the Council meeting the month before the election for nominees to introduce themselves to the Council and to ask and answer questions - we highly encourage you to come and meet the Council and the current board members (who will be at that meeting).
+Our board has seats that represent different skills, interests, and client groups -- this helps us keep all of these elements in mind in our deliberations. A list of the seats and "job descriptions" can be found [[Groups to be represented on the board|here]]. We are moving toward a board in which all directors occupy one (or maybe more!) of these seats, so please consider what your skills and interests work best for.
